Dissolution of lignocellulosic biomass in ionic liquids insights from molecular modeling and experimental studies

Abstract

Lignocellulosic biomass has been identified as a suitable feedstock for the production of fuels and chemicals This is required due to the high utilization of fossil fuels which has increased the production of carbon dioxide and had a direct impact on the economic environmental political and life quality of population Therefore the current thesis work aims at to dissolve the lignocellulosic biomass and its derived components namely cellulose hemicellulose disaccharides and monosaccharides
